I received a special honor and wanted to share with my friends at Parents as Teachers. Rep. Tom Moxley recognized Blue Valley Parents as Teachers on the floor of the Kansas House of Representatives for its impact on the life of his grandchildren living in the district. I received a plaque honoring my 25 years of service for supporting and nurturing the program in Blue Valley and Kansas. I was humbled by the award. I was heartened by the standing ovation and the warm greeting that followed by many of the legislators. Hopefully putting Parents as Teachers in a positive light at this time of the session will serve the program well.
